The Subaru BRZ coupe range is getting a new flagship for 2024, while all manual models are receiving a much longer list of standard safety equipment.

Deliveries of the updated BRZ range are set to begin in January 2024.

Pricing on existing Subaru BRZ variants is up by $3500 for manual-equipped variants and $700 for automatic-equipped variants.

The new flagship tS will be offered with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission like the carryover base and S models, and shares the same naturally aspirated 2.4-litre flat-four engine.

However, it receives STI-tuned front and rear suspension dampers, along with high-performance Brembo brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear brakes, as well as larger pads and rotors.

Gold-painted brake calipers sit behind unique 18-inch dark grey alloy wheels in 215/40 R18 Michelin Pilot 4 tyres. There are also black exterior mirrors and unique badging, plus a red BRZ logo in the headlights.

Inside, tS models feature a Bordeaux and black Ultrasuede and leather accented interior, with STI logos embossed on the front seats, a red start button, and a unique instrument cluster with the STI logo and Bordeaux highlights.
